Question

Sweety runs around a square park of side$75m$. Bulbul runs around a rectangular park with length $60m$ and breadth$45m$. Who covers less distance?

Answer 1

Step 1 Finding the perimeter of the square

We have given, side of the square is $75$ $m$

Perimeter of the square park

$$\begin{gathered} =4\times side \\ =4\times 75 \\ =300m \end{gathered}$$

Step 2 Finding the perimeter of the rectangle

And, we have given the length(l) of the square park is $60m$

The breadth(b) of the square park is $45m$

Perimeter of the Rectangular park

$$\begin{gathered} =2(l+b) \\ =2(60+45) \\ =210m \end{gathered}$$

Step 3 Comparing the distance covered by bulbul and Sweety

The perimeter of the Square park is greater than the perimeter of the rectangular park

Bulbul covers the distance around the rectangular park and Sweety covers the distance around the square park

Hence, bulbul covers less distance than Sweety
